Replying To Seniorleague: "Yeah,whatever about winning via the qualifiers in the old back door system,losing 2 games and still winning the all ireland is a bit much. Unlikely to happen though in fairness." In fairness to the Dubs all through their 9 all Irelands 2011 to 2023 they never lost a game, qualifier or otherwise and never went through the back door to win Sam

Replying To Saynothing: "That's true but when Roscommon won the provincial championship they were licking their lips at the prospect of meeting Tyrone in the Hyde. How things change." Utter nonsense.

All that awaits is humiliation. That jersey deserves better.

Although it helps Donegal, the decision undermines one of Jim's greatest strengths: convincing his players that the world is against them when the evidence suggests otherwise.

Hard to know what to make of that game. I think every team in the draw will like to draw Mayo.
I think there wasnt much difference in the second half today and the second half against Roscommon, without checking I think Mayo scored same amount in both second halves. Only difference was Monaghan not taking there chances today and Roscommon did.
So lethargic and no real plan in second half.
Full back line still very poor, defence overall is poor.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "They either underperformed or were over hyped. There were a lot of very confident lads over on the Galway hurling thread. They clearly felt that they were a very good team. The wexford lads here seemed to be of a similar opinion on their thread. I dont know what the betting odds were but the media articles I read in the build up were tipping Galway too. Clare won 2 of their Munster round robin games by 1 point, another by 3 and were well beaten by Cork in their 4th. They reversed that in the semi final and won Munster on penalties. It definitely stood to them." Would you rather that we said that they had us bet before throw-in then and that we should just forfeit to the great Munster Championship teams like how all Munster teams would like it.

Replying To yew_tree: "Well done to Aidan O Se…100 games with Mayo. Really shows how low Irish society has sunk when you see the comments online about him. So called Gaels making fun and mocking his achievements. Most of these people I bet have never played the game and would t be able find the front gate to their local clubs." Social media is toxic and is only going to get worse a lot of it driven by jealousy. Aidan O'Shea has been a great servant to Mayo football and has had a brilliant career, to hell with the begrudgers.

Replying To iarmhiabu: "Home truths don't sit well, but it's time for the County Board to get the finger out and capitalise on this momentum, do you not agree? Mark McHugh's team is leading from the front. The County Board needs to show the same urgency. Time to get out of their way and start raising the funds necessary to prepare County teams to the very highest standard. We have the players to compete. At the moment, we can't afford to buy socks and shorts for the U15 development squad." People overestimate the impact these runs have on support. It can drop as quick as it rises. Im delighted to see ye doing well but we made the same mistake in Galway back at the turn of the millenium when we were flying it. By 03/04 our support was back to pre glory day levels.
Behind the scenes volunteerism and hard work is always more important than a good championship run.

The 2x 2 pointers just before half time were a sickener. One needless free and then a shot on the hooter left it a bridge too far.

Replying To shaggykev: "I think having the draw before provincial finals has one major benefit. It gives fans 3-4 weeks notice on next game.
Tickets, planning trips with friends etc.
The six day turnaround is never ideal and hurts prelims and quarter final attendances. Every match should have at least two weeks notice.
Tomorrow is strange but it still gives fans almost two weeks planning whereas after round 2 it's week on week. Round 2A winners know they'll be going to Croke Park two weeks later but don't even know whether it's a Saturday or Sunday.
Going to games is expensive so every bit of foresight is welcome. I think it's one of the biggest reasons Munster hurling is so well attended.
As for provincial finalists not getting benefits, you get home field advantage, know your next opponents afterwards and can treat final for what it is. That cup to be won. I doubt teams will take to final to lose as it will have no impact. It's a stand alone trophy and I think you'll find 3 of the 4 champions really cherished their trophy." Oh 3 out of 4 and which county did nt cherish their trophy?
1.Kerry wanted to win the Munster cup this year more than any as its a new cup and its called "The Paidi O Se" cup.Motivation was never as high and the win was inmensely cherished.
2.Westmeath.No reply needed !
3.Armagh.They wanted an Ulster title and they deserved one more than any cointy after the heartache of penalty shoot outs and boy did they cherish it.
4.Roscommon. Brilliant scenes afterwards and huge celebrstions.Def cherished their win.

Replying To Cumann1: "It is pointless looking at only one half. Andy Moran said yesterday it was all about getting the win which is what we did" It's not pointless you just need to pay a bit more attention to other peoples point of view.
What Mayo did to get the win yesterday if repeated the next day probably won't be enough especially against better opposition than Monaghan.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "Oh its not pointless and both Andy Moran and Ryan O'Donoghue remarked about their 2nd half display against Roscommon yesterday I have no doubt the rest of management and players weren't pleased that a 12 point lead became 1 point and hanging on for the win. All will know a similar 2nd half display can't be repeated if hopes of reaching Croke Park is to happen.
Journalist Cahair O'Kane made a good point recently on wind advantage. Most think it's what you do when playing with it that matters most when what you can score and concede against the wind can be a telling factor. 1st half yesterday Monaghan with just 0-9 from 18 shots while conceded 1-17 from 17 shots and they'll know they should have defended a lot better on the 6 two pointers conceded especially the last one on the hooter." Didn't feel like much wind there yesterday Drax. Tricolour seened to be blowing accross the pitch in the first half anyway. Defending should be as dogged in both halves. Our defence hadn't much to do first half because Monaghan attack were less aggressive than the second half . That's when we did struggle especially when they ran at us. Hopefully lessons that can be learned for the next day.

Replying To Scenicparish: "The Galway are very worried about Jim...." Any county with aspirations of winning Sam would have concerns about facing Jim. His record speaks for itself. Im merely pointing out that he's consistently used the "them against us" narrative as a motivational tool and with considerable success.
That said he's still 0 for 1 against Galway in Championship football ;-)
